This year's revelry will launch 60,000 shells and effects from five barges positioned between E. 26th and E. 40th Streets along the East River, with prime viewing from three boroughs in New York City.

The 25-minute public spectacle is synchronized to an invigorating musical score and will feature shells of 30 different colors and shapes.
